Status:Low: methodology and pilot fields published, scoring table not validated. CDA will not publish a statewide table until records, source notes, and confidence labels are ready.
Why girls basketball matters
Girls basketball is not a secondary product.
It is the first girls sport expansion because Ohio girls basketball has strong postseason storylines, loyal communities, and a visibility gap that context-aware research can help close.
Community value
Parents, alumni, schools, and sponsors need shareable context that goes beyond final scores.
